I wouldn't want to just export any symbol from libaugeas.so (though to
test that the build goes through, you might want to just remove that
linker option)

The ld man page[1] indicates that -exported_symbols_list 'filename' does
something similar; can you try changing src/Makefile.am to pass that
option to the linker ?

The symbols you want to export from libaugeas are 
      aug_init
      aug_close
      aug_get
      aug_set
      aug_insert
      aug_rm
      aug_ls
      aug_match
      aug_save
      aug_print
      __aug_load_module_file

i.e. what's listed as global in src/augeas_sym.version. Ideally, we'd
generate the OS/X file at configure time from augeas_sym.version. But
for now, a handcrafted file should be good enough.
